Company History
Triad brings a tremendous amount of engineering and manufacturing knowledge (and experience) to Wind Turbine design and production.
Our background: Throughout the housing industry, Jim Merrick is considered on of the true pioneers in the invention of Automated Machine Tools for housing production. Starting with the invention of a Window Frame Machine back in 1960, Merrick Machine Company, under the "Triad" brand name, has gone on to develop Wall Panel Fabrication Machines, Fastening Equipment, and Sub-Component Machines.
Over the years, Triad has produced more than 2,000 machines for housing, 90% of which are still in operation. Quite literally, hundreds of thousands of homes are built on Triad machinery. Triad now brings their innovative thinking, engineering design and manufacturing skills to the field of Wind Power Generation with the Triad WindGen.
Over thirty years from that first major success, the Triad Companies have a proven track record of success. Today, under the direction of Richard Merrick, Jim's son, the operations of five companies are located in Nebraska and Colorado. Primarily a family company, a third generation - Jim's grandson, Russell Merrick serves as the General Manager of Merrick Machine Company. The five companies now employ approximately 250 people.
The parent Triad Companies retains its headquarters at Alda, Nebraska
